Nor do they need to make MAJOR, MAJOR changes like everyone is stating to Leopard. Operating Systems are not a little piece of software, they are the frameworks in which we rely on. Upgrades need to be done in a smooth, slow gradual process. Apple doesn’t need to remove anything from Leopard. Nor do they need to make MAJOR, MAJOR changes like everyone is stating to Leopard.

This was back when they announced there would be 64-bit libraries for the Cocoa UI layer, but not for the Carbon UI layer. And it would be huge pill to swallow considering the API hasn't even be deprecated [as in, marked as possibly being removed in a future version of the OS].

As for the other rumors that it'll drop PPC support, I would say that has a reasonable probability of being true [particularly if the release is later in 2009], but for dropping Carbon support, I would say that's very unlikely, given that Adobe CS and Microsoft Office both use Carbon for their UI layer.
